A small wilderness community, inaccessible by road until 2000, Whittier, AK is a gateway to Anchorage. The route between Whittier and Anchorage is along beautiful Turnagain Arm, famous for its sweeping tidal changes, in the shadow of the Chugach Range. The city's location in a prime wildlife-watching area pays off -- visitors can see Dall sheep, mountain goats, beluga whales, bald eagles and other species.
